Last week we have continued to think about our carnival of the animals topic and have begun to create an animal rescue role-play area. As we have said to the children, they are free to bring in any animal toys if they have asked permission at home and are happy for other children to play with them, it would be best to stick to no more than one or two per child. We have already raided our personal teacher toy collection though, so it is not urgent to do so. We have also used our scientific enquiry minds to learn about life cycles and how they differ for different species.
Our English learning this week continues to focus on the book The Great Pet Sale by Mick Inkpen. So far we have read the story and begun to discuss the animals and language we don’t understand. We will move this on by writing our own version of the story next week. Alongside this we have been thinking about how to use money so that we don’t have to rely on tills or shopkeepers to ensure we receive the correct change. This work has included remembering how we can use chips and peas to help us answer what two items cost or how much change is received.
Finally, with it being the month of May many children have already begun to prove how much they have learnt in the SATS. So far all of the children have been super keen to demonstrate their best so please keep this up till the end of the month. Equally please remember to talk about word meanings, ask questions and make predictions whilst reading books at home. For further ideas on how to help with reading or any queries generally please come and speak to a member of the year two team. You may also find the website below useful to explore with your child at home, especially when reading.
